Thankfully, within the past few years, there has been a slight increase in the number of films, videogames and even songs inspired by Wild West. By the 1970s, audiences were beginning to grow tired of the genre and there was a huge decline in the number of successful films and television shows focusing on the Wild West. Some of the biggest films included Once Upon a Time in the West, The Searchers, Red River, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and High Noon. From the early inception of cinema to the late 1960s, the Wild West was one of the biggest genres that always guaranteed a huge box office.

Of course, the Wild West was definitely not all sunshine and rainbows – but throughout the years it has been glamorised in popular culture due to the lawlessness and freedom of the era. This is ultimately where the American Dream was born and anyone was given the chance to become successful if they had the willpower to push through.

The American frontier was an exhilarating time in history where European colonial settlements established western territories throughout the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
